Yeah, like I said - it's all in halftime. It just totally lacks any energy on a dancefloor, and the tracks you've posted are totally typical of that. You don't dance to that rapid wobble, everyone just does a moronic slow-mo skank to dubstep. I don't mind hearing some of it in a club but more than 15-20 minutes and it just terminally ruins the energy levels. As a DJ I find it totally impossible to build any energy when playing dubstep.

I see. I guess you're right. I love to jog to dubstep but I've never heard it in a club, so I can't even imagine what a dubstep set would be like for more than half an hour.

The skittery, paranoid rhythms and massive bass can be very effective and atmospheric, but honestly it just ing sucks to dance to in 99% of cases. And most of the interesting producers have fled from it because they don't want to associate with brostep wobble .

I don't understand what this brostep nonsense is all about. What is(n't) brostep!?

That doesn't mean it has to be the stereotypical halftime that so many people define dubstep by these days. This is especially true for the London guys, who grew up with jungle and UK Garage, where messing with syncopation was one of the key elements:

Is there a genre you don't know anything about? :p

(Interesting tunes, thanks for posting them)

I have no idea how to critique classical music and jazz, as much as I love listening to John Coltrane and Arvo Pärt. I tried to read the Wiki article on Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier yesterday, and felt utterly lost halfway through.

Still have loads to learn.

Ah. :o In that case, it seems like I have most bases covered, although I didn't know what "moombathon" was until a few weeks ago. I'd dispute the legitimacy of its claim to being a sub genre, but it just goes to show there's always something out there you haven't explored yet.
